Lighter wheels help with handling on rough bumpy roads as they allow the suspension to keep the tires in better contact. There’s less weight for the suspension to control, and less resistance to braking and accelerating.
People claim lighter wheels also improve steering feel, but I doubt that will make a difference on a big heavy F10 with relatively numb steering. The difference due to weight would be impossible to tell if you are also changing wheel diameter and tire size at the same time. If you are interested in some very good tire reviews, look at the TireRack.com website or the Tyre Reviews YouTube channel. Both have tons of good information in the form of reviews of specific tires, and Tyre Reviews also does some interesting comparison tests with different size wheels on the same car with lots of feedback on lap times, steering feel, turn in response and ride quality. I won’t make specific tire recommendations as I don’t have enough experience comparing tires on my own cars. I can only speak to the theory. I don’t think a change in wheels is going to give you the change in feel you’re looking for, I think it’s mostly down to tire choice and wheel diameter/tire profile. In general, a non run-flat 19” tire will have less direct steering than a 20” run flat tire, but definitely some 19” tires will be much better than others. I’d start by looking up reviews of that Falken tire and see if people think the steering response is good or not. If it’s not then there’s a good chance a tire change can improve your turn-in. |

I know some 550i needs a 5mm spacer in the front, if not, the spokes of the 343 touches the calipers
